Online Greek language lessons – how does it work?

Each Greek online language courses continues up to 36 lessons within a period of 9 months. However students are welcome to continue after this period of time, to the next course. As students are paying for circles of 12 lessons, they are also able to cancel before the end of the course. Practically, students can go on with our lessons as long as they feel that they learn a lot and they are happy with it. You can choose between the following type of courses, in relation with the time you want to spend per week, also if you want to participate in video meetings or not:

1. Greek online courses via video meetings with a teacher:

A variety of materials are accessible online, including texts and grammar exercises. All all texts are combined with audios and videos, as we believe that this improves the listening and reading skills of the students. Students must study the lesson’s material and prepare their homework for each lesson. Homework usually consists of essays students have to submit for correction. Other activities and fill the gap exercises are also part of each lesson materials. During the video meetings students practice on the lesson’s material through a variety of language games. The role of the teacher is always to give instructions, motivate students to speak using the lesson’s grammatical structures and vocabulary, and to correct. As the aim of the video meetings is to motivate students to speak, the benefit is obvious. If you want to participate in Greek online language course with video meetings, you can choose between the following three type of courses, according to how often you want to have a new lesson-video meeting:

Note that you don’t need to install in your computer any kind of software (like skype etc) for the video meetings. Your browser is enough. We just send you a web link, then you can join our online virtual class by following this link. For more info about the technical requirements of the video meetings, follow the previous link.

2. Asynchronous teaching:

If your schedule is not convenient and you cannot participate in video meetings, the asynchronous lessons is an alternative option. During asynchronous lessons, you DO NOT participate in any video meeting. However, for each lesson, you do receive the lesson’s materials and instructions from your teacher. Your assignments are sent for correction via email and you can always contact your teacher and other students, via the lesson’s forums and email. Again, you can choose between the following asynchronous lessons, according to how often you want to receive new materials

1 asynchronous lesson / week. Payments for circles of 12 lessons.

2 asynchronous lessons / week. Payments for circles of 12 lessons.

Note that for both type of courses (teaching via video meetings or asynchronous teaching) the teacher decides what to do and when, according to the dynamic of the lesson and the needs of the students. For this reason the teacher send you materials for each new lesson.
